Chapter 242

There are only about ten seconds left.

Once the effect of Inverted Justice disappears and the death qi in the sky returns to this place, the lich will be able to resurrect in a matter of minutes.

By then, they won't have a second divine skill capable of creating such a situation.

Even if the lich isn't at its peak state by then, the Jiuzhou Legion will certainly pay a heavy price.

It is a miracle that not a single person has died in this battle so far.

Even Chen Ping wouldn't have dared to hope for this result before he arrived.

This was a trap set by a god and a demigod working in tandem; how could one win without paying a price?

He had already prepared for the Jiuzhou Legion to be decimated and for the Four Guards of Jiuzhou to need rebuilding.

Yet, just as the battle was reaching its climax, the Three Guards of Jiuzhou broke through one after another, and in the end, even Milan broke through.

Milan immediately prohibited instant-death magic upon appearing, which seemed to have no effect on the lich.

But in reality, it prevented the lich from casting more killing spells, forcing it to target only Chen Ping.

This was also the most erroneous decision the lich made.

It did not know that there existed in this world an absolute defense that could recover after a one-month cooldown!

Chen Ping is the first person in history to break the record at the Hall of Knowledge.

The level of the Knowledge Mark he enjoys is beyond what outsiders can imagine.

Moreover, Milan did not know that the final means hidden by the departing god was not intended to destroy the Book of Weirdness.

What it intended to destroy was Inverted Justice and the World Snake!

But the World Snake actually only had one chance to be used and had long since disappeared.

When that power descended upon the Book of Weirdness, Chen Ping flipped the Book of Weirdness directly to the other side.

As a result, the power destroyed the skills imprinted by the Ancestor of Mystery and the Arcane Sage.

Only Inverted Justice was left behind.

At that moment, Chen Ping understood many things.

From beginning to end, the lich had actually only made one mistake.

But that single mistake had already sealed its fate.

The death qi in the sky had stopped being drawn away and began to re-condense into a funnel shape, preparing to return.

The officers and soldiers of the Jiuzhou Territory looked at Chen Ping with grave expressions, all prepared for another bloody battle.

However, Chen Ping smiled and threw the heart directly into his own Origin Sun!

The heat waves on the surface of the Origin Sun rolled, curling the lich's phylactery into them like tentacles to suppress it.

The cold aura permeating the area vanished instantly.

The death qi in the sky lost its guidance and once again became scattered, heading in all directions.

As long as there are no undead here, the death qi cannot last long and will sooner or later disappear completely.

"According to your respective legions, go to the North District to clear out the remaining undead."

Chen Ping sat down on the altar and issued orders to the Jiuzhou Legion.

Only at this moment could this war finally be considered over.

The death qi in the sky was constantly flowing away, and the gray, heavy dome had already begun to thin.

But there were still many scattered undead in the North District continent.

If they are not wiped out, some undead leader might be born again in such a dense death qi environment.

Chen Ping would not allow such a thing to happen.

"If you encounter the territories of the fallen lords on the way, if you can see the ruins of the Lord's Hall, dismantle the crystals."

"We will cast a tower here with the territory crystals later."

Chen Ping looked around the altar; there were mountain fragments everywhere.

He kicked the brazier away, clearing the entire altar, which served perfectly as the base for the tower.

The generals received the order and left.

The Black Tortoise Guard, White Tiger Guard, Azure Dragon Guard, Blood Spirit Zhu Que, and the Centaur Joint Regiment each chose a direction.

After everyone left, Huang Qi also sat on the ground without any regard for his image and began to rest.

He still felt like he was dreaming; he hadn't expected such a terrifying crisis to be resolved just like that.

Whether it was the battle between the Jiuzhou Legion and the Undead Legion, or Chen Ping's battle of wits with the lich.

All of this made him almost fall asleep instantly after his spirit relaxed.

The alien queen Su Fei returned to her cute, naive girl appearance and ran toward Chen Ping, wailing.

As a result, she was grabbed by the back of her neck by Milan halfway and lifted up.

"Lord! Wuwuwu! All the Ant Tribe I accumulated are dead."

"Wuwuwu! The losses are heavy, I worked in vain for so long..."

The girl flailed her limbs, but she couldn't break free from Milan at all, and in the end, she could only look at Chen Ping with teary eyes.

This time, the Ant Tribe hid underground to cooperate with the Jiuzhou Legion.

It could be said that the Ant Tribe's contribution was not small in successfully dispersing the tidal wave of undead forces.

But in the end, the lich's corpse explosion shaved off a layer of the ground here.

The deepest part was even seven or eight meters deep, and all the Ant Tribe were crushed to death, with only Su Fei escaping with her life.

"Heh, I know you must still have some Ant Tribe hidden that you haven't released."

"Go, all the resources on this land, as long as you can find them, are yours."

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Su Fei's eyes lit up!

These were the resources of an entire continent!

The undead didn't need these; even the best equipment would be eroded and corrupted by death qi in their hands.

Therefore, the undead did not have the habit of mining.

And for the Ant Tribe, mineral deposits were the best supplement; they could grow by devouring mineral deposits.

Milan dropped Su Fei, and the petite Ant Queen immediately summoned an Ant General and about twenty worker ants.

In this battle, she had also truly given her all.

This small number of ants, compared to the previous army of ten thousand, didn't even count for a hair.

The Ant General directed the worker ants to start digging, and then followed Su Fei back underground.

They had their own set of skills for finding mineral deposits, so Chen Ping didn't need to worry at all.

"It's finally over."

Milan walked to the side of the altar with her hands behind her back and looked at Chen Ping.

In fact, it wasn't just Huang Qi who felt it was dreamlike; even Milan herself felt it was dreamlike.

The overwhelming advantage of the Jiuzhou Legion was actually easy to explain, after all, regardless of troop characteristics or equipment.

The Jiuzhou Legion was the number one in the Trial World, and even a large legion that would stun the eyes in the Main World.

But the final duel with the lich would have led to an irredeemable situation if even one step had been taken wrong.

Yet Chen Ping had solved it just like that.

Chen Ping smiled; at this moment, he was also in a state of overdraft and lay directly on the altar.

Before long, he was fast asleep, and Milan looked to the other side and found that Huang Qi had also fallen asleep.

She lifted Huang Qi over without waking the two of them, just simply releasing some energy.

It was enough to prevent Chen Ping and Huang Qi from being invaded by death qi while they slept.

The Jiuzhou Legion's cleanup of the North District took a full three days.

They searched the entire North District continent almost carpet-style, and during this period, they also discovered some stone tablets.

Those should have been the trial rewards for the first stage, which was where the light pillars were, but now they had all turned into stone tablets.

After the Jiuzhou Legion leveled them, they directly obtained the corresponding rewards.

Everyone collected them all and brought them back together.

Among the several legions, the Azure Dragon Guard, the Centaur Legion, and the Blood Spirit Zhu Que had the largest sweeping range.

It was also because of their speed that they were able to complete the cleanup within three days.

When the legion returned to the vicinity of the Black Mountain Range, Chen Ping had already cleared the ground around the altar.

Huang Qi used the Fossil-to-Mud magic to turn the mountain rocks into mud, and after leveling it, used Mud-to-Stone to harden it again.

Now it looked like there was a huge square at the foot of the mountain.
